Regarding lenses, Dave at D&D Automobilia advertises that he can do lenses, and the materials he uses are UV resistant:

Dave isn't cheap or fast (backlog of work), but quality is paramount.

As for parts I might like to see, I'm asking a friend to 3D print a set of '63 power seat track covers for me (I managed to salvage one from the car in the yard from which my power bench seat setup originated). Those things are nearly impossible to find, even used. If we do go through with the project, I'll see whether we (he) could do a few sets on demand in correct colors, and I'll post to the appropriate forum.

I would like to see the battery hold down star lock washer reproduced as they were originally produced.

Doesn't Ames already have an acceptable repro on those?

I have the lead flat washer from Ames, but the hole isn't large enough for the hold down bolt (1963 - again an Ames repro there). Perhaps the star washers have the same problem?

They aren't production correct. They work but not "right".
